Phew! Allhamdullilah it’s Saturday!  Ya Allah what a crazzzy week it’s been.  Hair pulling (or I should say Hijab pulling) Omg can you stop talking and your homework done? to cooking for finicky and picky people while slipping in some loads of laundry so insha allah I can really relax on the weekends.  I made it to Saturday.  Morning is quiet in my all boy household – why? …soooceer time… yeah…..kora time!

So, pattering around the clean home (since I cleaned it during the week)…I turn on some food show on the tv. .. and realize i’ve got some left over boiled eggs. AH! I am going to make a spicy egg platter…I think it originates from Indonesia but this recipe is completely out of my head.  The results were sweet, salty and spicy – along with some peace and quiet it really hit the spot.

Here is what you need:

  • Boiled eggs 2,3,4..whatever..(make sure to boil them through.  I put some vinegar into the boiling water so as to make peeling the egg super easy)
  • 1 cup diced FRESH tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • Oil – I like canola oil for this recipe – around 2-3 tablespoons
  • Chile or siracha chile – any chile will do but don’t use the tabasco type that has alot of vinegar content.  We are really looking for deep heat chili
  • Brown Rice on the side – okay, I am trying to be a “little” healthy.
  • 1/2 tspn of: salt, pepper, sugar, paprika, ginger (powder) and tumeric

How to cook it:

  • Saute tomatoes, onions, oil, and chile over low-medium heat – this will caramelize this mixture to become thick and melty.
  • Add all the ingredients – salt, pepper, sugar, paprika (powder), ginger (powder) and tumeric
  • Cook till all ingredients have become ALMOST like a thick sauce.  ADD eggs.
